Grace Place - Demolished.


Selden Richardson submitted this image of  the demolition of the 1890s-era building that housed Grace Place.  Does anyone know the year this building was demolished?

    My memory is hazy on this, but I'm going to guess 2003?

    I didn't even know it was being torn down, I just drove by one day and it was gone. Sad.

    Well, I have a photo from 2006, and I know it was gone by mid 2007, because I have a photo of them tearing down it's neighbors and I know it was gone when that happened. I remember always wondering what kind of person lived in this house, with its overgrown shrubs and iron fence.
